The main driver for the very rapid, steadily increasing demand of frac sand is the United States focus on becoming self-sufficient in energy (6 million barrels new oil per day) by the year 2020 plus the reduction of green house gases.
The demand has been generated by the technology breakthrough of horizontal drilling combined with multiple fracking. President Obama’s climate plan will accelerate natural gas(NG) usage as well. NG is targeted to replace coal (50% less CO2 and no mercury) in electrical power generating plants plus there is now the drive to covert trains and highway trucks from diesel to NG.
Natural sand is the least expensive proppant used in fracking. The demand for natural frac sand continues to grow and is now 90% of the market. The US mined and processed 31 million tons of frac sand in 2012 to produce about 2 million barrels of new shale oil. (USGS and 2nd annual Frac Sand Conference Houston and Hart Energy Graph DUG Conference Calgary 2013) The 2020 target of energy self sufficiency requires about 6 million barrels of new oil per day (DUG Conference Calgary 2013) thus requiring 3 times the amount of frac sand or ~ 90 million tons. The demand for NG continues to grow thus frac sand demand could even be higher by 2020.
The Canadian frac sand market is growing at the same rate. Saskatchewan and Alberta added 200,000 barrels of new light and medium crude oil per day in 2012 requiring about 2.8 million tonnes of frac sand.
